How do I display Album art on iPod 20GB color?

In iTunes I set the album art for each song, but I can't seem to find out how to display it in the iPod itself. Please help.
Thanks

Tim,
Are you trying to display it larger and full screen for each song or is it just not showing up next to the song name at all?

How do you display album art on the N95 8Gb?

Does anyone know how to make album art display when an album is playing on an N95 8Gb? It appears on some albums but not on others. I dragged my music folders from my itunes folder and in each album I have a small GIF or JPG file as the album art, but where do these go when the music files are dragged across - I can't find them anywhere on the phone, yet some of them display whereas others don't.
Solved!

Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art?

Why don't you, instead of taking time to do that, just backup, and then restore your iPod?
Just a suggestion..

Where is the 'display album art on my iPod' option?

I only use my iPod in the car, so I don't exactly need album artwork on it. iTunes used to have an option to display (or not display) album art on the iPod. What happened to that option? My iPod is a classic, so it has a hard drive, and I'm getting tired of the constant disk access whenever it wants to display album artwork. I would prefer to get rid of it altogether.
I don't want to delete the artwork itself, because I also listen to music with my AppleTV at home. I just don't need the artwork *on my iPod*. How can I rig it so the iPod won't display the artwork anymore?

never mind, I found out that the option no longer exists:

NEED 2 GET ALBUM ART ON IPOD USINING ITUNES 7

don't know how to update album art on ipod but
library art is updated

The next time you connect your iPod, and you are automatically syncing, the iPod will be updated with that information. If you are manually managing the songs on the iPod you may need to re-add them.
In another thread when the songs were not loading the artwork, it was resolved by unchecking the album art option, and rechecking it.
Your iPod needs to be one with a Color Display to support artwork. This includes iPod Photo, iPod w/Color Display, iPod 5G, or iPod Nano.

Album art on iPod Touch

Help! I've downloaded Album art for every song on my iPod Touch - although the album art matches each song correctly in my iTunes library on my desktop, about 1/3 of the songs have the incorrect album art on my iPod. For example, a song by Chicago that has Chicago album art on my iTunes library, displays album art for Flo Rida when that Chicago song is playing on my iPod. Some songs have the correct album art, but others do not. I've tried to delete the album art, re-download it and then reload the song to my iPod, but it doesn't always work. Any suggestions?

Fixed my problem with the artwork. I just went to amazon.com and searched for the albums where the artwork was getting mixed up on my iPod Touch. I would right click on the album artwork on amazon.com and select copy. Then I would select all the songs from that album in my iTunes and right click to get info for all the album tracks. Then just paste the album artwork. It took two syncs (for some reason), but at least now all my album artwork is right in both my iTunes library and iPod Touch. Easy to do, but time consuming. One downside, some images on amazon.com aren't the highest quality. In those cases I would do a google search of the album name and click the images tab to find the best quality images. Then use the same copy and paste technique.

What happen to display album art?

This is going out to APPL! I'm a coder, been one for 30+ years! Put back the display album art! It can't be that hard! I know you dudes can do a classic view or something like that.
Michael B's two cents

Can you be more specific? Album artwork is still available in iTunes 12, though the UI operations to do so have changed a little. As shown below:
Click on the Playlists button
Select a Playlist (or the complete library)
Select Albums from the dropdown at the top right of the screen
Are you seeing something different? iTunes 12 has also changed how you set/update/delete artwork for albums, groups of songs or individual songs - there are several threads covering this in detail ... since the iTunes 12 behavior seems to be a distinct backward step in terms of usability, there is at least the option to SHIFT-right-click > Get Info to bring up the old-style dialog where the previous functionality for handling artwork is available as it was in earlier releases.
BTW, you are not reaching Apple here - this is a forum for iTunes users. If you have specific bug reports or enhancement requests you can submit them to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html.

Ok, like how do I make album art show up on my Nano ??

Like, I don't see the albums showing up when I play my music, Can you tell me steps in order to display album art ? thanx all !

Firstly you need to put the album art in the id3 tag of the song.
Right click a song. choose "get info". Go to the album art section and add your album art. You can add the same album for multiple songs, just sellect more than one song. (ctrl+click or shift+click)

How do I add album art not using iTunes

How do I add album art without first importing the songs into iTunes? Is there a program that will do this?

Well, my preferred method is to use a web search engine, restrict it to display artwork, then choose the best. Slow but sure.
Browse the wwww.pure-mac.com web site for free utilities out there. I am sure there are many commercial packages to "clean up" iTunes but frankly I think they are hype.
See if there is something on the Dougscripts web site.
I know I have utilities such as XLD that do it as part of the CD ripping process.

How can I delete albums from my ipod nano 9th gen

How can I get Ipod nano to display Albums when connected to itunes?
How can I delete Albums from my ipod.....either using the device stand alone or when connected via itunes?
Both the above actions are easy using other devices and software ( Samsung MP3 and Windows Media Player...for example)
But after a year of owning my Nano I still cannot figure out how to do either of these tasks.

Just re read myoriginal question and realised I had not explained what I want to do very well.....
If I connect my ipod 9th gen to itunes.
How do I get it (itunes) to display albums and then delete them?
Finding them amongst the many thousands of track listing and then deleting them one track at a time is extremly tedious........
Surely there must be a way I can get itunes to display albums and the pick the one I want to delete?

++Displaying Album Art++

Hi, trying to get my albums to also display album art on first gen ipod nano. Does this only work with purchased tracks from the Itunes store?I have set up an account but dont really wish to buy owt from them!Is there a folder somewhere/ address on my computer that i can import pics/jpg/gifs to and then have them displayed?
I've also just done the software update as well, if that helps?!?!?
Cheers all!

Here are a couple of methods.
First off, make sure you have "show album art" enabled in iPod options.
Highlight a song or album in iTunes and use the advanced/get album artwork option in iTunes.
Go to Google Image Search and type in the artist/album name and click on search images.
Double click on a picture you like, then at the top of that page click on "see full size image".
When you get that image, simply copy/paste it into the space for album artwork in iTunes.
Make sure you select the album in the browser of iTunes before you copy/paste.
You'd be surprised what Google Images can bring up. There are literally millions, and even obscure album artwork can be found.
In the unlikely event that Google can’t find an image, you can also get artwork from Amazon.
If you’re happy using images from Amazon, and don’t want to copy/paste, then iTunes Art Importer is a nice free program to do it for you.
And incidentally, you don't have to buy anything from the iTunes store to display album art.
It will add artwork to your songs in iTunes regardless, as long as the album is for sale in the store.

How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?

How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?
When I play from my phone and switch to the mini player it's always showing the music notes in the thumbnaill. It'd be nice if it could get album art off of the phone.
I'm on iTunes version 11.0.4.4

He @mracole,
it is very nice that you post a solution to complete the library with artwork for album's that do not have an artwork. Your solution perfectly addresses the problem for assigning artwork, BUT this thread is about CHANGING artwork for albums already uploaded into iTunes Match. Just try to replace for example a blue artwork cover for an album with a red one. If you made it in a simple way (without deleting the album from iTunes Match and local changes on the files with an external ID3-Application or 2 or more iTunes libraries on different Mac's) this is the right place to give a solution. I really tried for hours to change the artwork to make them visible in landscape cover flow mode on my iPhone5. In rare cases I made it, but then the covers sometimes where restored to the old onces - exacly how it is mentioned by Starhawk
As long as there is no simple way to change the cover of an iTunes Match stored album (you can change title, artist and so on without hitting "update iTunes Match" over all distributed Library on different devices - this date will be synchronized almost instantly) I considered the behaviour from iTunes as BUGGY! For me the local artwork cache (and if there is any iCloud artwork cache - I don't know) do not interfere with iCloud. Even when I delete the whole local cache (album artwork music - everything) I do not manage to change the artwork.

On my ipod touch I'm not too sure how I uploaded a album onto my ipod from my laptop. But, now there is no way to delete the album full of pictures. What do I do? I only gotten it a while ago and not fully sure how to work it. Help?
